Edius has been an also-ran in the NLE market but Canopus hopes, with the emergence of HDV, the company’s expertise with codecs will give the software a boost. Pinnacle’s Edition was the first tool to include native HDV support, but Canopus hopes that its HQ codec will allow the editing of HDV without a huge performance hit compared to DV. It’s also the first company to offer hardware acceleration for HDV with the DVStorm-like Edius NX for HDV.
